Really? https://ewerickson.substack.com/p/really When did conservatism become incompetent? What has happened to the movement that I have long been a part of? This is so depressing to see. Let me tell you about Dr. Joseph Costa. He died of COVID-19. He was the head of ICU at a Baltimore hospital who rallied his staff to fight COVID. His team treated a bunch of COVID patients and, in the fight, he contracted the virus. Dr. Costa died the other day, essentially a battlefield casualty in the fight against the virus. He worked the front lines in the fight. We should remember people like that who lost their lives helping others. Along comes the conservative movement, which puts together a press conference in front of the Supreme Court with a group of doctors who are not on the front lines. They are urgent care or primary care physicians in most cases. They are not regularly in emergency rooms or ICU wards. But they call themselves front line doctors. Of course, when you get to the front of the line at their offices, they have receptionists and waiting areas. They want to argue that hydroxychloroquine is a useful drug that the media has mischaracterized in a political stunt to own the President. I agree with them. They have valid points to make. But all these doctors were overshadowed by Dr. Stella Immanuel. She took the microphone and did an impressive tour de force about not wearing masks because hydroxychloroquine is so effective. Her clip got circulated by the President and his son. Who vetted the lady? Why was she there? She became the face of this press conference. In fact, she became the face so much so that even the President’s own lawyer seemed to not be aware that other credible doctors were there at the press conference. Immanuel was not the “only medical professional and actual doctor with experience treating COVID-19 willing to speak up.” It is remarkable how she so dominated the conference that a smart lawyer like Jenna Ellis seems completely unaware of the other doctors there. As to the “most effective” part, Dr. Immanuel is also a minister and she believes gynecological problems come from women having sex with demons and witches in a dream state. She believes that certain conditions are actually demon sperm. She also has claimed alien DNA is used in medicine right now. Y’all, by current cultural standards, I believe in some whacked out stuff. I believe in a Heaven and a Hell. I believe in the physical death and resurrection of a human being who ascended into Heaven, sits at the right hand of God, and who will return to this earth. I believe in angels and I believe in demons. I believe there was a global flood that wiped out humanity except for one family in a boat. I believe there was a really real original man and original woman. I believe it is just as likely that the Navy pilots seeing those UFOs are seeing the “things not seen” as Paul might say as they are alien craft (the reality is most likely the Air Force screwing with the Navy). I believe these things to be true. I believe there’ll be a final day. I believe there’ll be a global judgment. I believe people who do not accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior will eternally be cast out and separated from God. I believe these things. Billions of people do. But demon sperm, alien DNA, and the Nephalim who died in the great flood having sex with current people? That’s a bridge too far. Dr. Immanuel became the dominant voice on that stage, distracted from everyone else there, and turned a presidential press conference into an embarrassment of questions over demon sperm. Doctors with good backgrounds and practical views got overshadowed by someone with views so fringe even those of us who literally believe in Adam and Eve have to blush. Shame on the conservative movement for doing that. We have to do better. The real front line doctors, like Joseph Costa, are dying of this virus and conservatives are putting up cranks. Yes, it is true that conservatives are always more likely to be forced to distance ourselves from bad people than the left. If a Republican city councilman in Nowheresville, TX says something stupid, every Republican pundit and the President is confronted by the press and expected to renounce him. If Louis Farrakhan says something inflammatory about Jews, all the Democrats can still go fundraise with him next week. It is a double standard, but we know it exists and has existed and yet Stella Immanuel got to stand behind that microphone. There are 243 currently registered, outstanding studies on the effectiveness of hydroxychloroquine, many of those studies in outpatient settings. We await the results of the research. You’d never know that from these doctors. You’d never even know about the doctors except for me telling you. All you’d know about is Dr. Immanuel and demon sperm. Conservatives, we need to be smarter, better prepared, with better arguments, and with better people. Yes, the other side is out to get us. Yes, the media has biases against us. We don’t need to make it that easy for them.
Trump's favorite doctor, Dr. Stella Immanuel, was sued for killing someone with witchcraft rather than providing proper medical care... Houston doctor behind hydroxychloroquine drug video was sued in Louisiana woman’s death https://www.houstonchronicle.com/ne...-drug-viral-video-sued-louisiana-15443105.php Dr. Stella Grace Immanuel was front and center outside the Supreme Court on Monday when she and about a dozen others in white lab coats prescribed a message that President Donald Trump liked. The group, proclaiming themselves “America’s Frontline Doctors,” touted the drug hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for the novel coronavirus. Their message in a viral video garnered Trump’s attention on a widely debunked medical claim, which he himself has been making for months, and a retweet to 84 million of his followers. The Houston-based doctor’s promotion of the antimalarial drug for COVID-19 treatment has drawn national scrutiny since social media sites such as Facebook, YouTube and Twitter classified the video as misinformation related to the coronavirus and removed it. The attention unearthed that Immanuel is also a minister who has made unconventional medical and supernatural claims on YouTube, including that masturbation attracts demons, same-sex couples are an abomination and men should not wear dresses. Court filings reviewed by the Houston Chronicle also reveal she was recently sued in Louisiana for medical malpractice in a case involving a woman who died after being treated in Immanuel’s care. Immanuel could not be reached for comment this week. A woman who answered the phone at Rehoboth Medical Center, where Immanuel works in Houston, said she was out of town. The physician and preacher, using social media, has not backed away from her more controversial claims. When Facebook took down her page this week, she shot back: “I promise you. If my page is not back up face book will be down in Jesus name.” She reposted the controversial video of Monday’s event on her Twitter page, remarking, “Big Tech is censoring Experts and suppressing the CURE. I will not be silenced.” Twitter deleted that post, too.

Long overdue.... Doctors who pimp medicines for off-label use should be fired. Maybe she can now go tout alien DNA and demon sperm with her fellow clowns. HCQ-touting doctor says she has been fired after appearing in viral video touting the drug as a COVID-19 treatment 'I was summarily fired for appearing in what was told to me is an embarrassing video' https://www.theblaze.com/news/hydroxychloroquine-touting-doctor-fired
President Trump’s promotion of ‘demon sperm’ Dr. Stella Immanuel bodes ill for second term https://www.sacbee.com/opinion/california-forum/article244639732.html When the leader of the “free world” promotes a quack who states that gynecological problems are caused by sex with demons, you know the free world is in big, big trouble. What else can you say when President Donald Trump touts Dr. Stella Immanuel, who claims “spirit husbands” and “spirit wives” visit humans in their dreams, and cause fibroids and impotence? Trump retweeted a video in which Immanuel insists that hydroxychloroquine is a “cure” for COVID-19 and says masks are not needed. Never mind that this dangerous fakery has been repeatedly rebuffed by medical studies and Trump’s own advisers, including Dr. Anthony Fauci; he found the good doctor “very impressive.” Even when queried about Immanuel’s bizarre theories Trump doubled down. “I thought her voice was an important voice, but I know nothing about her,” he told reporters. Of course, Immanuel’s Fire Power Ministries sermons are readily available on YouTube. Buoyed by Trump tweets, her ravings about the DNA of space aliens were flooding social media and cable news by the time the president claimed ignorance. The Stella Immanuel saga is not just another sick Trump joke we can ignore because there have been so many. No other president in our lifetime (or perhaps ever) would have praised a fraudster who claimed “demon sperm” was infecting our medicine. A president who promotes quacks is himself a purveyor of quackery. This madness illustrates how far Trump is removed from reality and how dangerous to America’s national security should he win a second term. I stress national security because so much has been written about the threat that Trump redux would present to our democratic institutions. But it’s also important to confront how four more Trump years would undermine the stability of the country – as well as its global standing – as he promoted quacks at home and fraudsters abroad. Here are three examples of the dangers Trump quackery would pose. First, dealing with the pandemic. By January, Trump’s willful refusal to devise a national strategy for containing the virus probably means the situation will be worse than at present. “If Trump is reelected there will be no prospect of any international cooperation to deal with this, just a presidential effort to change the subject,” says Thomas Wright, director of the Brookings Institution’s Center on the United States and Europe. Even if advances are made with potential vaccines, Trump’s open disdain for science has emboldened anti-vaxxers and belief in crank therapies (like a hydroxychloroquine “cure”). If America got embroiled in vaccine wars as it has in mask wars, virus outbreaks would continue. Moreover, Trump’s America First approach might lead him to try to hoard or buy up vaccine, while rebuffing vital international cooperation in distributing it at affordable prices. “The next two years will be crucial for international cooperation in vaccine distribution, dealing with hot spots and economic recovery,” says Wright. “Trump would be super nationalistic, which would have more lasting consequences.” Unless a vaccine receives worldwide distribution, the global economy won’t recover, global travel will be constrained and the disease will continue to migrate. Second, dealing with post COVID-19 geopolitics. Trump’s hold on reality when it comes to his treatment of allies is as a limp as it is with medical quacks. “We have a president who looks up to a (Russian leader Vladimir) Putin and (Brazilian President Jair) Bolsonaro, while he can’t stand British, French and German leaders,” I was told by Rep. Brendan Boyle (D., Pa.), who sits on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Indeed, Trump has made clear he’s reducing U.S. troops based in Germany from 36,000 to 24,000 because he thinks German defense spending is too low. But moving the troops will cost more than keeping them there, and demonstrates Trump’s disdain for his democratic allies. The plan is “a slap in the face at a friend and ally” and “a gift to Russia,” Sen. Mitt Romney (R., Utah) told reporters. But Trump’s estimation of who are America’s friends and who are foes is as limited as his grasp of Stella Immanuel’s skills. Third, leaving America alone at a time when international cooperation is more vital than ever. Not only will Trump likely quit NATO if he wins in 2020, but he has threatened to bring troops home from South Korea. Just when he is blustering about a new Cold War with China, he is out to destroy the alliances America needs to contain potential Chinese aggression under Xi Jinping. And Trump is abandoning vital international cooperation in dealing with climate change or future pandemics, convinced that he alone has the smarts to deal with global problems. Indeed, his mystical belief in his own greatness is as deluded as the fantasies of Stella Immanuel. His enthusiasm for her may reflect his appreciation for a fellow fantasist. Or his own frequent embrace of conspiracy theories. But Trump’s delusions are far more dangerous to our country and the world than a belief in “demon sperm.”
And the extreme liberal lies continues. Atleast, there is a lawsuit now. https://aapsonline.org/more-evidenc...made-available-in-a-new-court-filing-by-aaps/
Trump's FDA is run by liberals? Nobody is stopping you cultists from drinking demon sperm or do other stupid things, you guys got the power, use it and stop whining.
